Seats & Safety 6elts
Larger Children
Children who have outgrown child
restraints should wear the vehicle's
safety belts.
If you have the choice, a child should sit
next to a window so the child can wear
a lap-shoulder belt and get the
additional restraint a shoulder belt can
provide.
Accident statistics show that children are
safer if they are restrained in the rear
seat. But they need to use the safety
belts properly.
Children who aren't buckled up can be
thrown out in a crash.
Children who aren't buckled up can
strike other people who are.

Never do this.

Here two children are wearing
the same belt. The belt can't
properly spread the impact forces.
In a crash, the two children can be
crushed together and seriously
injured. A belt must be used by
only one person at a time.
